11 Placement for Maximum Accuracy AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display unit and the sensor are critical to the accuracy and performance of this product. Display Unit Placement Place the display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. Display unit stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. 5-in-1 Sensor Placement The 5-in-1 sensor is designed to remain outdoors all year long. Choose an open location with no obstructions above or around the sensor for the most accurate measurements. Important Placement Guidelines Display unit and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other. MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication. PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE Place both units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.). LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES Position sensor away from heaters, air conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents, asphalt and concrete (surfaces that radiate heat). LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES Avoid installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water. Water sources may impact humidity accuracy. LOCATE AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS DO NOT install the sensor where it will be sprayed by a sprinkler system. This may force water inside the sensor.

12 5-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground, in an open area. Higher is better for wind measurements - the National Weather Service recommends 33 feet high! MOUNTING OPTIONS The included mounting bracket is designed to screw directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2 x4 or larger. The sensor can also be mounted directly to 3/4 steel or PVC pipe (available at hardware stores and home centers). LEVEL INSTALLATION Use the bubble level (included on top of sensor) to ensure level installation for accurate wind measurement. SOLAR CELL INSTALLATION Install the sensor with the solar cell facing SOUTH. This ensures the cell receives as much sun as possible and orients wind direction. NO OBSTRUCTIONS ABOVE OR AROUND SOUTH 5-in-1 Sensor Installation 1. Fasten mounting base (included) to a post or pipe (not included) using the 4 longer screws included in the hardware bag. 2. Insert the mounting base into the hole on the bottom of the sensor. (1.5 meters) 3. Make sure the arrows on the top of the sensor are pointed in the proper direction and the bubble level is centered. The solar cell should be facing south to properly orient the wind direction. 4. Fasten the sensor into the mounting base using the 2 shorter screws included in the hardware bag. The 5-in-1 sensor is now ready to use. Clear Data Collected During Installation When installation is complete, clear erroneous data from the display unit by pressing the CLEAR TODAY button, on the back of the display until inside the battery compartment. This button will clear data recorded since 12:00 am. Basic Setup is Complete The 5-in-1 sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appear to be functioning improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section. 12

13 OPERATION Using the Professional Weather Center Learning Mode Self-Calibrating Forecasting use a unique algorithm to analyze changes in pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude. After 14 days, the Learning Mode icon disappears from the display screen. At this point, the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is ready for superior weather prediction. Weather Forecast AcuRite s patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting provides your personal forecast of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours by collecting data from the sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy - personalized for your exact location. RAIN LIKELY PARTLY CLOUDY CLOUDY MOSTLY CLOUDY SNOW LIKELY RAIN/SNOW MIX LIKELY (flashing=stormy) View the complete list of icons at Barometric Pressure Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This weather forecaster displays the current pressure, direction it s trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING) and a pressure chart. The chart tracks and displays the change in pressure so you can monitor the rate of change over time. Rainfall Event The rainfall feature tracks rain accumulation over all-time, the current month, and current rainfall event. Current event clears when no rain registers for 8 hours OR no rain registers for 1 hour and pressure rises by.03inhg or more. Programmable Weather Alarms Each Selectable Weather Category features an alarm option. When an alarm sounds, the display unit emits an audible beep and flashes the affected category, its alarm settings, and any other relevant data. Some alarms can be customized to alert you when your programmed value is reached. Alarms include: outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, wind speed, heat index, dew point, wind chill, indoor temperature and indoor humidity. The rain alarm does not require a preset numerical value, but instead sounds as soon as rain is recorded. Similarly, the storm alarm sounds when a large atmospheric pressure drop occurs, which usually indicates an oncoming storm. Note: The storm alarm is NOT intended to be a safety device or warning system. 13 (flashing=stormy)

14 Set a Weather Alarm 1. Choose the weather category for which you wish to set an alarm by pressing the up or down arrow buttons until the category is displayed on the Selectable Category part of the display unit. 2. To program a value (only applies to alarms that require a value), press AND HOLD the button until the SET indicator appears in the area of the display labeled ALARM (left of the selected weather category) and the alarm setting flashes. 3. Adjust the alarm value by pressing the up or down arrow buttons. 4. Press the button to confirm a value. 5. Next, press the button to activate the alarm. The alarm ON indicator will highlight on the display. Alarm is now programmed and turned on. To set or adjust an alarm value: Press and hold To activate or deactivate an alarm: Press Silence a Sounding Alarm The alarm sounds initially for a few minutes, then silences itself. The alarm then sounds every few minutes afterwards until one of the following happens: 1. SNOOZE - Press any button. Alarm silences, but sounds again if the alarm condition reoccurs. 2. Turn the alarm OFF - Deactivates the alarm. 14

15 Troubleshooting Problem Possible Solution No outdoor sensor reception no bars Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-in-1 sensor. The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics that may interfere with the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc). Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor to synchronize after batteries are replaced. Synchronize the units: 1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and remove batteries from each. 2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor. 3. Reinstall batteries in display unit. 4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection. Outdoor temperature is flashing or showing dashes Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an indication of wireless interference. Make sure the A-B-C switch in the battery compartments of both the display unit and sensor are switched to the same letter. You may choose A, B or C; but both units must match to sync up. Inaccurate forecast Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions. Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the display unit? Learning Mode must complete before forecast and pressure will be accurate. Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery removal or resetting the display unit will restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days. 15

16 Troubleshooting Problem Inaccurate temperature or humidity Possible Solution Make sure both the display unit and sensor are placed away from heat sources or vents (see p.11). Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture sources (see p.11). Make sure sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off the ground. Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity (see p.17). No rainfall Verify the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab) has been removed from the bottom of the sensor (see p.7). Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector funnel and debris screen. Calibrate the Rain Gauge (see p.18). Verify the sensor s internal tipping lever is moving freely by dripping a little water through the rain collector. You should hear the lever tipping. If you do not hear it, you may need to clean inside the sensor. Video available at Inaccurate wind readings Display screen not working What is wind reading being compared to? Pro weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor positioned at the same mounting height. Check location of the sensor. Ensure it s mounted a minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around it (within several feet). Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray lubricant. Check that the batteries are installed correctly. Batteries may need to be replaced. Reset the display by pressing the reset button, located on the back of the display unit. Date and time will need to be entered after a reset. If your AcuRite product does not operate properly after trying the troubleshooting steps, visit or call (877) for assistance. 16

17 Care & Maintenance Display Unit Care Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep away from dust, dirt and moisture. Clean ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air. 5-in-1 Sensor Care Clean the Sensor Clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives that will mar the polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or the solar cell. Scratches will result in decreased performance and reliability. Insect Prevention Insects may cause obstructions and interrupt data by nesting in or on the 5-in-1 sensor. To limit this problem, spray the outside of the sensor with a household insect repellent. Consult the insect repellent instructions prior to use. Snow & Freezing Weather The 5-in-1 sensor will not be damaged by freezing conditions. NOTE: If the rain collector cup fills with snow and then melts, it will register as rain on the display unit. Clean the Rain Collector Cup Remove and empty rain collector debris filter. The debris filter is located in the rain collector funnel. Remove from the top by gently squeezing and pulling out. Clean the Wind Vane & Anemometer Remove foreign matter from the outside of the sensor for free movement of the wind vane and anemometer. If needed, use a small amount of spray lubricant, clear silicone or graphite powder on the anemometer for improved movement. Calibration Calibrate Temperature & Humidity The indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity readings can be calibrated on the display unit to improve accuracy. Calibration improves accuracy when 5-in-1 sensor placement or environmental factors impact your data accuracy. 1. Choose the weather category you wish to calibrate by pressing the up or down arrow buttons until the category is displayed on the Selectable Category part of the display unit. 2. Press AND HOLD the up and down arrow buttons and the button all at the same time for seconds. The display unit beeps, and all display data is hidden except for the value being calibrated. CAL (calibrate) and arrows appear next to the value being calibrated. 17

18 3. Press the up or down arrow buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower from the actual reading. 4. Press the button to confirm the calibration adjustment. Note: The CAL icon remains illuminated next to calibrated values. Calibrate the Rain Gauge The rain gauge on the 5-in-1 sensor can be calibrated to improve accuracy. Items Needed: 5-in-1 sensor, display unit, plastic cup, pin, screw driver 1. First, ensure 5-in-1 sensor is perfectly level using built-in bubble level. 2. Place display unit close so you can monitor it during calibration. 3. Make a pin hole in the bottom of a plastic cup. Hold the cup over the rain gauge and fill it with exactly 1 cup (8oz) of water, allowing the water to drip into the rain gauge. You should hear the internal buckets tip and see water drain through the rain gauge. 4. A few seconds after each bucket tip, the display unit displays rainfall in approximately 0.01 or more increments. 5. The cup of water should take more than 20 minutes to empty; a quicker period will result in inaccurate calibration. Try to simulate a normal steady rainfall. When cup is empty of water, display unit should register 1.06 Tips There should be nearly an equal number of water drops (about 25 water drops) between bucket tips. If not, adjust the calibration screws on the bottom of the 5-in-1 sensor until an equal number of water drops are tipping the buckets. Then, restart the calibration procedure. If you don t hear the buckets tipping and see water dripping alternately out of each drain, there may be an issue with the rain gauge or it s adjustment. See Troubleshooting on page 15. Adjustment If the rain gauge doesn t register close to 1.06, make an EQUAL adjustment to the two calibration screws on the bottom of the 5-in-1 sensor. Turning screws clockwise increases rainfall; counter clockwise decreases rainfall. To adjust the rainfall reading by 2% turn both screws 1/8 of a turn. To adjust the rainfall reading by 4% turn both screws 1/4 of a turn. To adjust the rainfall reading by 8% turn both screws 1/2 of a turn. Watch the video at 18
